History

The Lok Kalyan Marg metro station is located very close to the Tughlak Road police station, which is the place where two very historical FIRs for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and Indira Gandhi were registered.[3][4] Originally called the Race Course metro station, it was renamed when the accompanying road was given its current name in 2016.[5][6]
